“We don’t know its political motives, we don’t know who’s paying for it.”

If there’s s one common thread in these witnesses, its this Global Justice. Each and every witness is funneled to our govt by them.

Attorney Pagano then took a wild swing at prosecutors, saying, “these good men have been hoodwinked.

These good men have been emotionally vested in this case – not that they have anyting to gain.

But the time, money that’s been put into this investigation is unlike anything I’ve seen before. They’ve been to Liberia 5 times, were prepared to go a 6th.”

Continuing his accusations, he said “with a contingent of agents and translators, etc. Hassan Bility could have been brought here and put under oath and been asked to explain how he identified these witnesses.”

In his rebuttal, prosecutor L. C. Wright went after Pagano for urging jurors to take into consideration the absence of DNA data, such as forensic, bones and other physical evidence.

“Forensics? You don’t need bones to say that the person is dead. When they say they heard the shots and then their cousin was dead?

What do you need bones for?

As a result of that conflict, you can probably find bones all over Liberia. That’s a tragedy.

There were dogs eating people in the street. We need to recover bones for DNA for who, for what?

It came from the mouths of witnesses.”

The federal judge blasted defense counsel Pagano for asking the jury to consider a fact that was never introduced in the trial – such as Global Justice’s role.

“You had the opportunity to examine that fact and the opportunity to recall the witnesses if you wanted to.”

“I granted you that opportunity, instead you came in and put Global Justice on trial, ” pointed Judge Diamond.

Jurors will continue to deliberate until they form a unanimous verdict.
